~ Squats ~

95 x 1 x 5
145 x 3 x 5
Note: Now i know whats gone wrong with my squats, took advice.
a) i did too much warm ups.
b) rest 2-3 minutes according to what the thread says, so i read.
c) and have 25 lbs before my actual sets
it worked magic. come saturday i'll do my 150!! i didn't do 150 today cuz i feel that i havn't grasp the 145 yet, just incase something goes wrong with 150.

If it says 1 x 5 then it means one set for 5 reps.
Deads put a big strain on your body and CNS. So I can see how he just has you doing only one tp set.
But since it's only one top set you should be able to add weight to the deadlift every week. Try adding 5lbs every time you do deadlift. But don't forget you should do a few warm up sets maybe 3-5 reps working up to your actual work set.
Good workout, I can see improvement. About the supplements. I did try them when I first started but found that I vastly prefer real food. And one thing I learned was to not try to eat super healthy or anything just eat fairly clean food and eat tons of it. You have no time to sort out all your micros when you must consume 3.5x more food then the normal human.
Mmm, so hungry... I think I'm going to consume a Burrito or 4.

i add 10 lbs every time i dead.. ^^ 5 each side. and some times i add them once a week, some times i add twice a week, cuz i dead on alternate days.. and i do em 3x5. so how should i be going about it?
please use my last dead as an example.
bar x 10
65 x 1 x 5
95 x 1 x 5
115 x 3 x 5
so mean i should be doing
bar x 10
65 x 1 x 5
95 x 1 x 5
115 x 1 x 5 instead?
65 and 95 are warm ups..
and the next time i dead, maybe
bar x 10
75 x 1 x 5
95 x 1 x5
125 x 1 x 5
bar, 75 and 95 as warm ups?
something like tat?
and sculelos, i agree.. theres nothing better than REAL food. my bro eats oats. think i should be taking oats? i'm taking cereal in the morning through..
